Further, U allows the object to be printed to perform an accurate integer rotation between the printing start point of each printing mechanism and the printing start point. In addition, a rotary printing mechanism, a platform 10 for rotating the cradle, and elements of the fixed chain 13] constitute a planetary gear mechanism. In other words, the transfer means in the rotary printing mechanism, for example, the transfer drum in offset printing is a sun gear, and the receiving rotation sprocket 1 1 is the planetary gear. The fixed chain 13 is used as an internal gear, and the transport chain に is rotated in place of the arm]), and these elements move the planetary gear mechanism in the printing section. Set up as follows. At this time, the actual contact with the rotary printing mechanism is not the rotator plate for the cradle but the object to be printed itself, but the pi-cket for the rotator plate. Since the object and the object to be printed have the same rotation axis and the same diameter, the object to be printed moves in the same manner as the planetary gear.

Due to the printing position, printing with each color on the printing object is adapted with high accuracy. In the present invention, the term "chain" is used to mean a non-sliding winding transmission means.], And the endless is used in combination with a gear-like rotating body. Any means that can be rotated at the same time are included in the meaning of this term.
